Hello everyone,
I'm back on this journey after six years, now with a wife and two kids. Over the past eight years, I've slipped back into old habits, becoming obsessed with porn and regularly PMOing to relieve frustration from not having regular sex with my wife. This has led me to objectify...
I'm currently starting a 90-Day NoFap challenge in hard mode. I'm in my day 2 free from PMO, but my question is, I'm currently looking for a job and have to do some stuff using the PC, it is harmful for my recovery path to stay in the PC too much? I mean outside of the obvious temptation of...
Always when i feel stressed with problems, my brain directly think of masturbation as a way to escape from problems, but if i tried to stop that and postpone it for later i usually end up doing it the nex day or the next few hours!
is there a way like to stop that ?
I'm procrastinating right now. I'm active on the forum instead of doing the work I need to do ASAP and the clock is ticking.
And the moment when I realize "oh, I'm about to write a long post again after having read someone's thread" and I get frustrated suddenly the porn urge struck.
The...
I'm trying to give up my vices. I switched from YouTube, to Netflix, to games. I'm halfway to 30 days on nofap, which I've only done twice before. I'm aiming for 90 days, maybe a whole year, but hoping for the rest of my life.
I want to break out of my bad habits and routine. I want to make a...

You are consuming too much self-help and you aren't putting in the work that is needed to truly improve yourself. Self-help is a great tool to learn different ways of thinking and escape that victim mentality a bit, it helped me but after learning about all this stuff about the brain and how it...
In the last post, I embarked on the beginning of my reboot journey, sharing the history of my relationship with porn since a very young age, and what suddenly changed a couple of weeks ago. I've successfully completed 8 days today. Yay to me!
In this post, I thought I'll share some observations...
The first video game console I ever played was, I believe, a GameBoy.
I played the PS1, PS2, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360 and on the PC when I was little.
I remember games like:
Fighting Force
Halo 3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Warcraft 3: Reign of...
Anyone familiar with the 'Pomodoro Technique'?
It's a productivity/time management method where you break your time down into intervals of 25 minutes (i.e. 'pomodoro's'), separated by breaks of 5 minutes.
During the interval of 25 minutes, you focus on one task or kind of work. This is the...
My most recent rationalisation was that I was 'just going to listen to some lofi hip hop beats'. I walked out mid-conversation when I was talking to my dad and I remember seeing how disgruntled he looked. He wanted me to speak to him. He was enjoying my company and all of a sudden I pulled it...
Does it really matter?
Hey guys. I hope you’re doing well. So, in this thread, I’m going to address an issue and that is the loss of motivation for rebooting. Once we forget the reason why we’re doing this, we are susceptible to relapse more than ever.
After countless relapses, I’ve noticed that...
Hello good reader who decided to read and thank you for that.

So I've been heavily procrastinating my college work this past two weeks. Today I was successful in stopping myself when I found myself digging into sub-porn. I am now trying to do work as my anxiety builds and my mind asks for a quick release... Through PMO. It's as if I'm trying to convince...
So, let's talk about procrastination for a moment. I am a master procrastinator. That's something I know I need to work on. Who else deals with this? Anybody have any insights about whether this is a side-effect of PMO, or maybe procrastinators fall into PMO because it's an easy, available, and...
Hi guys, I am new to the nofap community and i wanted to know what would it do for me if i stopped watching porn and masturbation,
the only reason I am here is because i have several problems like...
1. lack of energy every day + i can't focus and commit to my everyday goals
2. anxiety, repeated...
Dear fellow Self-Improving Friends!
I realized now that my current biggest problem is procrastination. I will try to deal with it by research: I am going to read through procrastination articles, posts, journals and so on, filter the important information out of it, frame the different...
Hey everyone!

What are some things you do when you’re...

Hi guys, I relapsed (not to porn though) today on day 41 (hard mode) of my first streak. Before nofap I was very good at focusing on studying. Now that I am studying software engineering and I have really difficult exams next week, altough within these 41 days I have gained lots of benefits...
Came across this interesting trailer for a book. Succinctly explains present bias and how this keeps us from becoming the people we want to be.
Basically, present bias is the preference to indulge in what we want right now instead of doing what we want for our future. These wants will never go...
I use "avoiding" as that's how it has seemed over the past few weeks.
I haven't even been counting the days (of course once I post this and see my counter I'll have a better idea of how long it's been).
What has happened is that I'm feeling emotions a lot more. Every so often I'll binge on...
Hello everyone!
As a new academic year approaches, I decided to stop wasting time (either online, or in real life). And I want you to join in! Everyone, who is interested in living more real, full life, is welcome here!
I want to write down my goals:
No YouTube
No social networks

In the past masturbation would be a really good study break. I am studying all day every day for the MCAT which is the test you need to pass in order to get into med school...
I noticed today that since I have started battling PMO addiction (and made progress it has to be said) I have at the same time started PC gaming and binge TV watching more (alone) and also eating more junk food.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar effects since starting...
I've exams coming up in 2 days and I'm wasting time on the internet. Not P but still. Even if you take the internet away from me, I'd find something else to waste time on, anything to distract myself from actually studying. This has been going on all my life. Despite countless failures in the...
